Diatomaceous Earth – One Pound

admin — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:08:21 +0000

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. It is used as a mechanical insecticide. As it is heat-resistant, it can also be used as a thermal insulator.

Diatomite is used as an insecticide, due to its physico-sorptive properties. The fine powder absorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of insects’, causing them to dehydrate.

It is also used as a growing medium in potted plants, particularly as bonsai soil. Bonsai enthusiasts use it as a soil additive, or pot a bonsai tree in 100% diatomaceous earth. This is because it retains water and nutrients, while draining fast and freely, allowing high oxygen circulation within the growing medium.

The new health care laws combined with a fragile economy and the ongoing threat of terrorist attacks could be the “perfect storm” for massive health care shortages across the U.S. If things don’t change, it won’t be long before we have an inefficient and overburdened health care system like Britain or Canada!
